Who is this workshop for?

This workshop was put together for the photographer that has a passion for traveling who needs to get out of their comfort zone and get to the next level of their journey. We have a limited amount of seats, which will make the workshop more personable. We will be having meals together and lodging at the same location, which will help create those connections that are more important than anything else as we truly believe in supporting each other in this constant growth, that we all fear and seek at the same time.

How is the weather in Italy in April?

As we all know, April weather can be unpredictable as in nailing down a specific temperature. Typically it ranges in between 45° and 65°. We will definitely be keeping an eye on it and we will keep you all posted!

How long is the actual workshop?

The workshop starts at 10am on April 9th and ends on April 11th at 8pm. We highly recommend coming at least one day before the workshop! If you can, take even a few extra days so that you will have the chance to visit this beautiful country.

Jet lag, how do I deal with it?

Having travelled a lot, here are a few tips that are helpful. I’m not sure I have followed them by the rules, but I do know that if you do, it’ll definitely help!

Get as much rest as you can before your trip. Starting out sleep deprived makes jet lag worse.

If you can, try to arrive at least one day before. It will give your body a chance to adjust.

Drink plenty of water before, during and after your flight to counteract the dehydrating effects of dry cabin air. Dehydration can make jet lag symptoms worse.

Stay on your new schedule. Set your watch to the new time before you leave. Once you reach your destination, try not to sleep until the local nighttime, no matter how tired you are.

Try to sleep during your flight. Earplugs, headphones and eye masks can help block out noise and light.

How do we get to Greve in Chianti?

If you are traveling from outside of Italy you can look into these airports:

Florence Peretola (FLR). This is the closest choice. It is only 19 miles away from the Villa we will be workshopping.

Rome Fiumicino (FCO). This is 130 miles away from Florence. You can either chose to get a train to Florence, which are very well coordinated in Italy or rent a car.

Milan Malpensa (MXP). This is 195 miles away from Florence. You can either chose to get a train to Florence, which are very well coordinated in Italy or rent a car.

The best way to get from Florence to Greve in Chianti is by bus. They are more affordable and they run pretty much all day. Here is the link to find the right time and location to get it from.
